Brand Manager

We are looking for a commercially strong Brand Manager to lead the growth of a healthcare and nutraceutical portfolio across GCC markets.

This is an end-to-end brand ownership role, not a narrow marketing execution position. The role covers brand strategy, commercial performance, channel growth, customer engagement, forecasting, budget management, and cross-functional execution.

The right candidate will be able to think strategically, act commercially, and stay close to execution to turn brand plans into measurable business results.

What You Will Own

• Develop and execute brand strategy across GCC markets, aligned with business priorities, market dynamics, and channel opportunities.
• Drive revenue growth, profitability, market share, pricing, positioning, and channel performance.
• Build strong brand presence across healthcare, pharmacy, e-commerce, modern trade, and institutional channels.
• Manage annual brand and marketing plans, ensuring budget discipline, ROI focus, compliance, and commercial impact.
• Translate market insights, customer feedback, competitor activity, and sales performance into clear actions.
• Lead brand-level forecasting and work closely with Supply Chain to protect product availability and manage stock risks.
• Support launches, relaunches, portfolio optimisation, and new product opportunities.
• Partner with Sales, Medical, Regulatory, Supply Chain, Finance, Digital, and external partners to ensure aligned and effective execution.
• Equip field teams with clear priorities, compliant materials, and practical guidance to improve customer engagement.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

You will be a strong fit if you are a commercially minded Brand Manager who can balance strategy with hands-on execution. You should be comfortable working with data, customers, channels, field teams, and cross-functional stakeholders.

We are looking for someone who can take ownership of brand performance, manage priorities with discipline, challenge constructively, and make practical decisions that improve growth, profitability, customer engagement, and execution quality.

Must-Have Requirements

• 3 to 5 years of brand management experience within pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, healthcare consumer goods, or a closely related sector.
• Proven involvement in brand performance, including sales growth, profitability, market share, pricing, promotion planning, or budget management.
• Strong understanding of healthcare, pharmacy, distributor, or consumer healthcare channels in the GCC.
• Experience working cross-functionally with Sales, Medical, Regulatory, Supply Chain, Finance, Digital, or external partners.
• Strong analytical ability, including interpreting market data, sell-in and sell-out performance, CRM insights, stock movement, or competitor activity.
• Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy, Life Sciences, Business, Marketing, or a related field.
• Strong English communication skills, with the ability to present clearly and influence stakeholders.

Nice to Have

• GCC market exposure.
• Experience with international principals or global brand owners.
• Exposure to e-commerce, omnichannel activation, CRM, or digital marketing.
• Tender, institutional, hospital, or key account business planning experience.

This Role May Not Be the Right Fit If

Your experience is mainly limited to campaign coordination, content execution, social media management, or marketing administration without direct involvement in brand performance, commercial results, forecasting, budget management, or cross-functional delivery.

Apply If

You are ready to manage a brand end to end, influence commercial performance, and work across functions to turn strategy into measurable growth across the GCC healthcare and nutraceutical market
